I have a system and moved after 7 months of getting it due to a burglary. I sold the property and moved to home with a full system already in place, and have my Vivint system sitting in a box that I can't even use. I have no recourse other than to pay it off. Awesome.

My relationship with Vivint at the beginning was very rocky. Lots of mistakes and mishaps... lots of miscommunication. After all the hiccups were resolved, things have been great! The company listens to criticism and learns from their mistakes. I am very happy with the turn around from the company. When staff comes to the door to see how things are going and if I am satisfied, any issues I have are resolved on the spot. I would recommend Vivint to others, for sure.

Can’t wait for my contract to expire!! Bought a Space monkey to use as a cloud for my security and personal stuff. Well, Vivint decided to quit allowing me to access the cloud I purchased and I lost 1000’s of photos. So mad. You can buy a better product without going into contract. RING will be my next buy. Much better value.

I believe there should be a program to compensate existing customers when new or improved equipment is released, either by a replacement program or at least a discounted rate. When I see other companies offering better services and technologies than I have, it threatens my loyalty to Vivint when I’m denied a better camera without paying an obnoxious amount for a new camera.

The latest update to their replay feature scored high in my opinion when reviewing recorded videos. However, the system requires a significant amount of bandwidth to perform at a stable level. Otherwise, the cameras will go offline a lot throughout the day. I much prefer the wired system I had at my previous home compared to the current WiFi system I have.

I am writing this review because I am very unhappy with the service that Vivint has provided. I called customer service to resolve an issue and they assured me that they would send out a technician to fix all the faulty equipment. It is not 4 months later and I have not heard back from anyone however my account has consistently been charged for services that I am unable to use. I have a smart lock that does not unlock and an outdoor camera that gave out after year of service.

I signed up with Vivint for a 5 year contract. We originally got it for the smoke alarm system because we have pets home alone so we wanted to be able to monitor the home for them. Getting out of this contract even after your time is up is frustratingly difficult. I sent them a letter a year in advance stating I would be done with them at the end of my contract. They called and asked why - I was tired of paying $75/month when I could buy my own Nest products and monitor what was important to me on my own. I was also unhappy with the way camera works - it never recorded when I needed it to - for instance the system would show that the back door had been unlocked but the camera never recorded who actually came in.
They sent out a guy to check and stated everything was working okay. I figured okay whatever... We are still done in May 2019. But no.. money still coming out my account in June - I called to complain and they stated "Oh well your contract cancelling doesnt count because we sent out a guy." This time I was frustrated and said "No I am done. What do I have to do to be done?" "OH you need to send your cancellation letter to documents@vivint.com" So I did that immediately and July... another payment goes out. Another call and they state they are "looking into cancelling my account." I cancelled my credit card. Vivint service was okay but getting rid of them is like the most horrible divorce proceeding you can imagine. Do not sign a contract with Vivint!

Not Military Friendly! First off getting out of my service contract due to a mandatory military move has been nearly impossible. I now live in my RV and Vivint cannot provide service but refuses to cancel my contract. Secondly, I was mislead by my sales rep that I could get out of my contract with military orders which has proven to be a lie. Thirdly, it has been obvious that the sales people will say anything to make money with no regard for the customers interest or the truth. The city's police chief (Valdosta) revoked their ability to sell due to multiple complaints. This happened less than a year before they sold to me. I'm convinced they illegally sold me service in the beginning. The fourth major problem is the service that I was sold never worked as described. I found out I didn't have the internet bandwidth to support anything. I also had no other internet options in my area to upgrade.
My cameras never worked right, my thermostat was constantly acting up until and was not repairable until I removed it. The doorbell camera constantly stopped working. Alexa didn't work right. The main box constantly disconnected from the network. The app rarely allowed me to lock the doors or open the garage. After all of this, I found Vivint’s customer service technically inept and uninterested in fixing our issues. Lastly, after they were unable to provide the service that I was paying for, they lied about not extending my service agreement and did it without my knowledge.
Then after all that, I'm finally thinking I can get out of the contract due to my upcoming PCS. Wrong, that’s when the company showed its true colors by not supporting the freedom of choice that military members should be afforded when they are relocated by the military. Nothing angers me more when a company acts military friendly, but is really only interested in making a buck. I plan to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the local Valdosta police, my military legal office as well as a few different popular forums and ABC news. This experience has been possibly the worst consumer experience I have ever had.

We have the doorbell camera, the door sensors, the motion detector, and the smoke alarm from Vivint. Our interactions with the rep and the installation team were good. The installation was quick and easy. They came in, put everything up, cleaned up whatever mess they had made and left. We moved the system to my wife’s shop, but when we had it at the house, the panel itself would drop signal from the internet, which was was our biggest issue. It was doing that consistently. We thought it was our internet and bought multiple access points. We ended up calling Vivint's tech support and they told us it was the panel that was having issues.

We had salesman Jake ** come to our house days after we had moved in. He was very pushy and kept telling us that he will have someone there in a couple of hours to install the hardware and we have 30 days as a trial and if we don't like it we can contact Vivint and they will come and remove the equipment at no charge. Everything was done on his tablet, and it just kept asking us for our signature and we would be emailed all the paperwork and we can review it later. He started asking for our SSN and wouldn't even let us discuss anything between ourselves. I kind of barked at him and told him that we need to talk about this and we will not be making any decisions at that moment. He seemed highly offended that he would not get his commission for the sale and left his number to give him a call but it would have to be the next day because he would going to the next town.
We did discussed it and since we had 30 days to decide if we keep it we figured we would give it a try. Jake came back and kept saying that everything will be emailed to us and we can read through it later. After a few weeks we decided that it was not a system for us. We called to cancel but Vivint said that we are under contract. Apparently our salesman lied because it is three days not 30. Who decides if a security system will work for them in only three days??? The customer service rep said they would have to contact Jake and it was his word against ours. And why would they believe us? How do we even know that they contacted him? They are getting paid... Jake gets his commission... And we, the customers, are getting the short end of the deal. We are making sure that everyone knows of our horrible experience and how we are out money on a product we will not use.

The installation service was a nightmare. I told the guy where to put my cameras. Well he placed one camera where I wanted. The second one he placed in a blind spot and I told him I didn’t want it there. His explanation was the radius leaving my door without a camera exposed wires and my height is 5 ft 1 inch. I was able to touch each camera inside my home. He left wires hanging from one room to another with electrical tape. He also tapped into my phone wires leaving me without usage for that line for 3 days. I cancelled my service the third day and I asked the company not to send him back to my home to retrieve the equipment, use someone else of course. Dallas is his name came. When he disconnected all the equipment he didn’t notify me that he was leaving therefore he left my front door wide open not knowing how long he had been gone.

The only issue I have is the immediate rush for installation. While going over the service it should be explained that a guy will be here tonight and will be in your house till midnight. I think personally it should be asked "would you be ok if someone came out tonight and it can take up to 5 hours." Then let us decide if they can install. If that was the case I would have given 5 stars and it would have been on me if I stayed up till 1am. Other than that everything else seems ok .

The first year or so that I had the Vivint service it worked fine. Then they pushed out a "software upgrade" to the control panel. Since then I have had nothing but problems with their system. The system drops off my home network every month or two. A tech came out, added a couple devices to the system, and hardwired my home network to the system, saying that would solve the problem. It didn't. Another tech said that another device that was plugged into a separate outlet in another part of our house was causing interference. We removed it but still have problems with the control panel. I keep telling their customer support that the control panel is defective. Calling their customer support is no help. You have to spend over an hour on the phone with them as they take you through their list of "diagnostics" which is basically, "Is everything plugged in? Yes? Ok, we need to turn it all off and turn it back on again."
The problem is the backup battery that is inside the control panel must be unplugged in order to completely turn everything off. So you have to find a tiny screwdriver because a normal sized one is too big. After you take the tiny screw out you have to hold the panel with one hand while unplugging a tiny plug with your other hand. The touchscreen is still on while you're doing this so if you're not careful with how you're holding it, you set off an alarm which is much louder because now the panel is less than a foot from your ear. After unplugging the battery you have to plug it back in and pop the panel back in place and put the tiny screw back in. Most of the time you will get a message that the panel cover is loose, even if the screw goes in perfectly and the panel seems to be in place.
If their over-the-phone "diagnostics" require you to turn the power off to the system, there should be an on/off switch on the front of the panel that would not require you to take the panel apart. Doing this once or twice over the course of the contract wouldn't be a big deal, but having to do this every month or two is too much! I keep complaining that their panel doesn't work and needs to be replaced. Their response today was literally, "Yes, it works. We fixed it in January, April, May, and today." It's not fixed if it keeps breaking! Get another system! Anything but Vivint!

Original Review: July 23, 2019
Last week (July 16) a Vivint salesman came to our door and informed us we were eligible for a system upgrade. We were told that for a small fee we would receive a new control panel and upgraded doorbell camera. After agreeing to the charges, an appointment was set for today (July 23). The technician arrived on time and said she was there to install the new panel. When I told her we were supposed to receive the upgraded camera, she said it wasn’t on on work order and called the salesman. He in turn called me and said he was sorry but the camera wasn’t included, as we discussed, and there would be an additional charge. After hanging up, I called Customer Loyalty, explained the same situation, and was told I could get the camera for an additional charge, the same charge the salesman indicated. I’ve been a Vivint customer for almost 4 years....not sure I’ll make it 5.

Very dissatisfied with Vivint Security Systems! They increase their monthly charges (I pay $66.00/month- that's almost $800/year). The thermostats are horrible- have had a defective one installed as well. Once the thermostat malfunctioned - instead of AC the heat pump turned on - I could not correct it. Had to leave work & have my AC tech try to figure it out!
The security panel system needs to be updated & it is always signaling that there are issues (battery problems, updates needed, etc.). Again, on the phone to try to solve the issues. Oh, and they charge a $49 service fee to come out & change your batteries! The cameras have never worked right, even though they have come to replace them. Then they wanted to charge me $150 to replace the camera that did not work. I spend so much time with tech support trying to "reset the panel" etc... Not to mention waiting 10 -15 minutes being put on hold!
Then, I finally decided to end my contract, they said that I was automatically renewed for 2 more years. They had me over a barrel, because I needed to schedule an AC company to change out the vivint thermostat, but could not get them over until after my contract ended. I live in Florida & it is 95 degrees here right now - I would not have been able to use my AC without a thermostat.

Vivint Home Security system is a great choice as it's not dependent on your home's internet connection or home phone service. The integrated mobile app makes it easy to see who's at your door, control all users and passwords, saves pictures of camera activity, and speak through the app when someone rings the doorbell in real time, and you don't have to be home to use these features. The system is expandable to add more cameras, doorbells and smart home appliance controls. This is a system I would highly recommend because it is customizable to your needs and the security system is effective and discreet.

Process was quick and easy! It took us a while to find a security system we liked that also looked good on our wall. The main panel doesn’t look big and bulky or outdated.

I recently had Vivint Home Security installed in my home. The representative that explained the product did an excellent job and answered all my questions. The technician was wonderful to work with and easy to talk to. Both the representative and technician explained how the system worked so I felt confident to use it. I would definitely recommend it if someone is wanting a good home security system.

It's very rare you get a salesman come to your door nowadays. At first we told him no thanks, i.e. we didn't want to waste our time or his BUT I actually knew of the name and we literally were looking for security cameras on Prime Day. So we gave Jonathan a minute of our time and he hooked it up! We are now proud owners of a great full house security system. Can't wait to save up for the automobile feature.
We never secured our home because we thought it would be too much and out of our budget which honestly sounds ridiculous now that I type it out. Of course we should have budgeted it in long ago but Vivint was VERY accommodating and Affordable. I was lucky enough to get the Tech guy to come the same and after a few minutes of signing with the company, my home was fully secure with a really cool 4k cameras, autolock for the front, video doorbell. The whole package. Give these guys a second of your time. You won't regret it.

First and foremost I would like to begin with a statement that I have no faith in Vivint. My system has been nightmarish at best and the mobile app is just as bad. For instance if I walk into a area that has a camera I will get that video clip hrs after the event happened or not at all. Second instance. When I let the garage door down, but on the app it says garage door open. Now if I went by the app my garage would be up and I probably would get robbed of all my possessions and yes this actually happen because for a half of day it was left open. Thank God for good neighbors. Vivint do the right thing and cancel this contract. Am in the works to speak to a consumer protection attorney. Buyer beware.

I have Vivint for about a year-and-a-half. I have had nothing but troubles every single month with the camera. We troubleshoot, they send me new software and nothing keeps working. Now they want to start charging me $250 because I purchased this from Best Buy and they don't see me as a real Vivint customer. Do not go with this company, find another company that is better. They have good customer service but the $250 I would pay only covers for 90 days and this system breaks down every month. Hopefully another reliable company can piggyback onto the scene at that I paid $1,300 for plus $20 a month.
When you called and they want you to spend $50 a month and monitoring it I only have one outside camera and I don't need monitoring, so they told me it will cost me $250 every time to send someone out to take a look at the faulty equipment that they gave me. They know they....even said it was their faulty equipment but they won't do anything about it. There're good security systems out there, after a year-and-a-half I should have looked a little further. And shame on Best Buy for having them in the store and then them leaving the store and now I'm out in the cold with a bad camera, faulty equipment, paying $20 a month for a $1,300 system I'm still paying on and there's nothing they will do about it.

Pre-existing equipment. We were told a rep would come out and walk us through the equipment use and address any concerns. We were given a timeframe to be at the house. Nobody showed. Approximately 1.5-2 hours later, a Vivint Rep called and took the time to blame another Vivint EE for the delay. He didn’t come but walked through the equipment over the phone in a quick manner. When asked to repeat something, he would respond with, “I’ve showed you how to do that so you’re good..” Then when asked to help provide a manual and a house visit for the walkthrough, we were transferred to Customer Service for a questionnaire about the call, in which he stayed on the line making it uncomfortable.

I signed up to purchase Vivint cameras and monitoring system, the salesman told us that we have a option to finance the system and we can add the $50.00 P/M monitoring service which we can, and I quote "cancel at any time no questions asked" (the service of course, the equipment has to be paid which is obvious). The equipment is ok, they had to replace one camera which stopped working after a week but they did replace it, but when we tried to cancel the monitoring service you can forget about it. Obviously the service agreement is on page 4 of the contract, page that I should have paid more attention to, and it turned out it's 54.99 plus taxes not 50.00, which adds another $300 to the bill over the contract period. Buyers be aware... and get a quote from ADT first.

I did tremendous research for weeks on different smart security systems and finally settled on Vivint. A discount through my local electrical provider truly sealed the deal. I was told that I was getting a $169.99 discount. However, that discount turned into $0 after installation. On my confirmation the discount is listed. Now after things are done I was told that I was given a free thermostat so that negated the discount. I love the technology but just be aware that if you’re told you’ll be getting a discount, those numbers could look a lot different than what was promised. And the fact that the supervisor acted nonchalant about it is what really irritated me. Not even an apology for the miscommunication.

The representative was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He answered every question we threw at him. Since my system was old I and after the presentation, I was convinced that this system would satisfy my security requirements. The installers showed up the same day and had my system up and activated in the evening. The whole team was courteous and very professional. The system is operating without a glitch. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing a quality smart home security system.

I had a very explicit conversation prior to setting up service about what we would be doing for our service (taking over a wired system), and when the tech came out we were told that it wasn’t going to be as planned (everything is actually wireless and they *can't do that*), so after much discussion we added a bunch of window and glass break sensors to the original plan so now my service will be an extra $13/month on top of the already more expensive service we had with a competitor with a wireless system. We are ultimately happy with the end result as far as the actual system goes, but I am disappointed in the outcome in cost and miscommunication.

When contemplating the home security system, I had some anxiety about being able to manage the system. The sales representative assured me that the installers/techs would answer any questions I had. During the installation, I asked if they had worked with people who weren’t very “techno-savvy”, to which the reply was, “Oh yes!”, and I was assured that they would answer any questions that I had when they were done with the installation and before they left. When they first arrived at my house, they paused and stared into my car windows before coming in, with no later explanation. I might have been interested in the app for the car, which was what I thought might have been their reason for staring at it.
The two techs seemed to be in a rush the whole time they were at my house, to the point that I almost asked them if I was making them nervous somehow, or if they were in a hurry to get done to go somewhere else. The appointment was scheduled for (after I got home from work) at 9PM, which is still daylight in Alaska in the summer. The time was not my idea, as I would have preferred to wait until Wednesday, but the sales rep was pushing to have it done ASAP so that I could get the installation fee waived. However, if it was not a good time for the installers, it would have been better to cancel and/or reschedule, rather than rushing through the job and providing very poor service.
One of my doors had been left unlocked all night. I don’t even know if the system was on or not when they left. The boxes from the various parts were just left on the floor. I picked up several pieces of packaging waste after they left. The first guy just left when he was done with his part. Before he left, I asked him how to lock the front door, and he replied, “Any way you want.”, and he walked off. Before he left, the other tech asked him about the Vivint app not working on my Android. He shrugged and walked off. The remaining tech told me that he didn’t know anything about Android phones, as he only uses iPhone.
Android phones have a huge segment of the market, and I was not told prior to the sale that an Android phone would not be compatible. Prior to this, he showed me one time the basic operation of the panel. With the confusion of the app, I forgot what he had told me. The way learning works is to demonstrate and allow practice, rather than telling the person and then introducing a stressful event such as an app that appears critical but inoperable. Looking at the overwhelming panel, I asked if there was an information booklet for it, and was told “no”. I stated in a question tone, “I guess I could go to the website”, while pointing to the panel. He said that I could. Clearly, I didn’t understand. I was astounded, as I thought I was supposed to understand how it worked before they left. The tech then held up a 2-inch square item and said something about it being for flood, and I think he said it goes under the water heater.
Apparently, he missed my confused look, and he just set it on the floor. He sent me a text, which was for a survey that I was supposed to complete on his iPad, which he did not present to me before he scurried out, as his coworker had already left a few minutes ago. I texted the sales rep shortly after the second guy left with a message of “That was disappointing. I don’t know how it works, but they were in a hurry to go.” The sales rep offered to stop by Monday, but I had to work today (Sunday), so that didn’t help much. I understand about Sunday being his day off, so I didn’t push the issue.
Your brochure was impressive, and there were some other services in which I might have been interested, but now I have no idea how to operate this system and am afraid to open my door, which is the opposite of what a security system is supposed to provide. I was left hanging, or rather stuck, in my house, afraid to open the door for fear of inadvertently wasting the time of emergency responders, as well as being embarrassed in front of the neighbors. Needing to work off the stress, I finished a few projects, read a book, and was eventually able to fall asleep. When I got up this morning, I tried calling customer service. The cancellation office was closed, so I tried the tech line. The first call went to the country of Columbia. The second call went to Jamaica. I tried again later, after a two-hour workout to burn off some stress, and the call dropped.
The fourth call ended up with a lengthy hold, after which I decided to try the website, which was also a fail, until I tried the chat line. Finally, I was able to turn the system off. To feel more secure, I also unplugged it and took out the battery. Initially, I had the impression that there was a camera system. One little camera for the front door is woefully inadequate for a house with five doors, and provides NO security for my fuel tank. The little door tabs look cheap and ugly. There should be some type of camera for the back of the house as well. I am going to go with the security camera system that I had purchased previously. Your system sounded good, but the techs failed miserably in their rush to get out of my house, for whatever reason. It could have been my pacing cats, who were apparently trying to tell me this was a bad idea.
If you are going to be a national company and import outsiders into an area to do work, you need to train them about the region. For example, your sign was randomly place in my yard, where in the winter time it will be buried in snow. The techs could have asked the woman of the house (me) where to put the sign. The installers seemed to have an attitude of “Get in, get out, and get paid”. Well now you can send someone to get in, get your stuff, and close my account. There is nothing that will convince me to ever do business with your company again. When I express a concern and get a response of “Oh well.”, then I am done!
After I didn't receive a response to my emailed cancellation, I tried the chat option, and was told that I needed to call. When I called it took 15 minutes to get an uninstall appointment; yet their install could be done the same day. I'm hiring someone else to take out their system, and the Vivint tech can meet me at the door, because I don't want them in my house again.

I still can't get notifications when someone is in front of my cameras. I'm stuck in this contact at this point for the equipment because I was lied to.

A salesperson from Vivint came to my door and was telling me about this incredible security system that they had to offer. I understand that their job is to sell you something but they are also a representative for their company. We will this salesperson, Dan. Dan told me that Vivint was giving five homes a special promotional deal if they sign a contract and place the "Vivint" sign in front of their home. I was told that these promotional homes would come with extra equipment and for a lower monthly price than the standard homes would come with.
Dan then told me that they would waive the $90-100 activation fee as part of the promotional home deal. They also stated that the monthly bill would likely be between $55-65. I went ahead and signed a contract with them because it did seem like a decent deal at the time and they seemed to have decent technology. Of course the monthly payment turned out to be 69.99 but he said that it was better than the standard plan.
First thing that happens is I get a call from them saying that I need to pay the $90-100 activation fee. I explain to them what Dan had told me and the representative on the phone said that they don't allow the sales people to waive this fee. Dan apparently wrote in the fee in the contract and then spoke with Vivint later to "take care of it". This the a big red flag BUT they did resolve this issue and refunded my money for this. My biggest issue came when I found out I was completely lied to. Vivint did not have a promotional home special going on in my area at the time (if ever). The $69.99 price was the price for their standard plan, along with the same technology I received. The main things being the Smart Panel and the doorbell camera.
I was young, gullible, and never had any encounters with these door-2-door types. For that, I take responsibility. I am the one who signed the contract; however, I did this under the pretense that I was getting something that I did not receive. What they told me was not hyperbole. This isn't saying that "This chocolate will make you live forever" or "We are the BEST in the business". What Dan did was lie to me and tell me that I was getting a promotional home deal (meant to promote Vivint in the area) that did not exist. That was the whole point, Dan stated there were five qualified homes that Vivint was looking to outfit with a lot of their technology to promote it while also putting their sign in my front yard.
Every attempt I had at getting this resolved I received the same response: "We don't approve of our salespeople lying to potential customers, but we aren't going to do anything about it and if you want to leave you'll have to pay the whole 5 years (60 month) worth of payments to cancel". While this isn't a direct quote, it's fairly close to what was said. TL;DR I was lied to by a sales rep and I can't get out of the 60 month contract. Go with anyone but Vivint. Learn from my poor decision making. There are much cheaper options out there with the same technology that are not as bad as this experience has been.

Let's talk about customer service (or lack thereof)... I opened a chat with a Vivint rep named BayLee this morning — first, to let Vivint know that my (brand new) outdoor camera is filled with water and we have no view of our driveway or street because the camera is broken... and second, to let Vivint know that the security sensor on my son's bedroom window has been open for three days and the alarm has not alerted me at all. I am currently looking at my alarm panel and it is telling me that the sensor is at 93% battery and that the window is closed. Yet, I'm looking at a WIDE OPEN window.
The response from BayLee was, "oh okay, let's fix that." No apology for leaving my home and MY CHILD'S BEDROOM WINDOW un-alarmed when I'm paying $85 a month for a security system. No empathy for the concerned mother on the other end of the chat whose child could've been kidnapped last night due to the faulty equipment Vivint provided.
The explanation she gave me? I am responsible to contact Vivint once per month to do monthly maintenance/testing on every piece of equipment that I have in my home to ensure that it's working properly... That's right! They add a secret clause in your contract that states that you THE CUSTOMER must call them once per month for eternity to test all of your equipment. Mind you, the sensor broke three days ago — so, even if I had called at the beginning of the month for my "monthly testing," I wouldn't have known until August that the sensor had broken (if we're going by their monthly testing window).
On top of that, after basically severing that chat session because I was tired of BayLee and her unprofessional attitude, I wasted 20 minutes on the phone with SherryLynn — Who told me that they would not have a problem sending a technician out to my house to fix the camera (which is still under warranty) and look at the busted sensor... but only if I pay a $49 fee for the technician visit. Vivint won't be seeing another dime of my money or my monthly payments. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! GO WITH A MORE REPUTABLE SECURITY SYSTEM THAT ISN'T RIDICULOUSLY FLAWED!

Good experience overall. So far, I love my new security system and the functions it offers. The tech (Anthony) that came out was great and very knowledgeable! Advised well as to where to position the cameras. Did very clean work and was not sloppy. Made holes only when necessary and positioned cameras well to maximize the coverage.
The rep. was not as helpful. When I called to ask about the system and get a quote, I was not told that cameras can not be installed to a detached garage. The rep. even pulled up the satellite view of the layout of my home. The tech informed me if this detail, whiched changed the original order request and the number of cameras that were installed and how they were positioned.
Also, had an issue with the original appointment time. Was sent the confirmation for the wrong appointment time even though the rep. was told that I couldn't be home before a certain time that day. Contacted him to let him know. I was advised that it would be changed, but came to find out that it was not corrected. He just put a note in the system.
The tech that was scheduled that day, texted me letting me know they were on their way. I contacted him and we had to change the appointment to a later date due to the error made by the rep. Another, thing promised that was not fulfilled. Like I said, overall the experience was good. It was very easy to get a quote and customize a package according to my needs. The tech that did the work was very knowledgeable and showed how to use the system and equipment.
My only issue was the rep. I worked with. I feel he was too excited in making the sale, that he didn't advise properly and made promises that the tech was not able to follow through with. It could also be a bit of lack of experience or training. Not really sure which. I think if Hogan had a little more training or a refresher course, it would benefit him and any new customers that call in.

I cancelled my service with them July 2018. They continued to take money from my account for a year. I called and they had, on file, I cancelled in July 2018. I have called 5 times weekly for over a month and was told it would take 3-5 days to put the money back in my account. I just got off the phone with Cassandra who today all of a sudden tells me there isn't a record of me cancelling July 2018. Every time I have called for the last month, they said they did show it. I have spoken to a few "customer retention" reps. The ones I remember are Brooke, Cassandra and Malici. Malici is supposed to be a supervisor. He agreed to pay me back and said it would take 3-5 business days. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM OR USE THEM AGAIN.
